Rihanna wanted to record Skylar Grey's "Kill For You"
Quote:
It’s been so long since we started working on “Kill For You.” I can’t remember exactly how it went down, but I believe that during one of my trips to Detroit, I worked on a bunch of different hook ideas for some tracks Marshall, Mark Batson and Mike Elizondo had made. “Kill For You” was one of them. I remember us all being in the studio together in Detroit working on it, and I remember working on the verses in my hotel room there in Detroit.
But I think that might have been two separate trips because we had found out Rihanna was interested in the song. I believe we got back together to finish and flesh it out with her in mind. She even tweeted the line, “You could make me a believer, even if that **** ain’t true,” way back then.
Rih ended up not using the song which I was secretly happy about because I wanted it!
